It may well get skipped as a technology. It's theoretically possible to extract energy from electromagnetic zero-point radiation without violating the laws of thermodynamics. Unlikely but you never know.
Rodney McKay!In Stargate, the ZPM was a baseline sort of battery used to power cities.

Rodney tried to follow old plans to go one better and 'extract vacuum energy from the current universe, which could replace Zero Point Modules'.

TX.
I think the greenies and their tame idiot politicians are far more likely to kick this into the long grass.TX.
Also - people love to have a go at large 'expensive' experiments. Just look at the LHC.......the money spent on that could have easily been used to cure AIDs, stop world hunger and give the entire population of the world a home with laura ashely curtains and a flat screen TV.........or something.......
I heard Lockheed-Martin skunkworks are also working on fusion at the moment.

I think it will be extinguished by the anti-nuclear anti-GM anti-science anti-progress anti-exciting educated-beyond-their-intelligence PC eco-brigade and the spineless politicians who trot along behind because they need votes.
So maybe the Russians or Chinese will do it.
This is what I feel.So maybe the Russians or Chinese will do it.
Nuclear power the world forward!
The only issue being russian or chinese is that it may not be quite as safe....hah
